Take Control of Your Tours!

This latest edition of Virtual Tours from Whirligig allows you to take more control over your listings…this brief write-up explains how to login and edit property information (price, description, etc.) and edit your personal information, and even re-arrange photos or add/delete photos, add a video…etc.

Don’t have a Video? Embed one in there!

Visit the site here: www.whirligighd.com/admin

To get your username and password, simply enter your email address in the last box to have the system send you your username and you can reset your password to whatever you wish.

In the admin section, you can see where you can edit your personal information - such as your photo, site link, blog link, blog feed (just use the RSS feed URL for that), and several other items you can update. Coming soon - a way to embed more graphics so this looks and acts more like a regular web site! Not all items are currently live, so most of what you have in there we did already. Currently just edit the testimonials, web site link, and information about you. We are working on the rest.

In the admin section, you can also edit your listings. Click “edit listings” and in there you will see that you can edit the information. You can also edit the photos by adding, deleting, and even adding Captions for each photo. Under each photo, you will see a box that says “Caption”. Fill in what you wish for this and that caption will appear under the photo in the virtual tour.

Check it out! You can even upload associated documents to each listing - those will show up in the Tools section of the virtual tour. Upload Word or PDF brochures or other documents you wish to share.

What about Video? Did you know we do complete full-motion video of your properties? If you have us do them, we will take care of that for you. However, let’s say you do the video yourself or you have another video you want to display…you can! As long as you can pull the “Embed” code, you’re good to go. Simply copy and paste the Embed code (from YouTube or other video site) and it will be in the tour.

Don’t have a video of the property? Maybe there is a video of the neighborhood or City that you found online that you want to share…as long as there is embed code for that video, you can use it in the tour.
